The Doctor traded his life that night for the possibility of causing someone great harm. And that is exactly what he did. If you drink and drive you are a criminal. If you don't want to gamble away your life, JUST DON'T DO IT!
And the Lawyeris an exceptional DIRTBAG to drag the Girl and her Family thru the dirt. They haven't suffered enough, so hurt them more? The doctor is fortunate I'm not on the Jury. He makes me sick!

Show me a lawyer and I'll show...

... you a bad person. How can a person behave like this and sleep at night. Too bad it wasn't Joel on the skateboard that night.

What If ???

Let's suppose the Dr. had stopped to help the victim.
Considering his level of intoxication, could he have
administered any meaningful life saving emergency procedures?
Had he done so and the victim died anyway what charges would he face for practicing while intoxicated? I think the Dr.
knew his goose was cooked either way. Perehaps he hoped the consequences of running are less severe than the consequences of having a patient die at the hands of an intoxicated physician.
